The world number one Rafael Nadal thrashed Andy Roddick in straight sets on Sunday to give the home side an unbeatable 3-1 lead in their semi-final clash.
The Spaniard, who has already picked up the Wimbledon, French Open and Olympic titles this year, cruised to a 6-4, 6-0, 6-4 victory in a colourful, high-spirited atmosphere in a Madrid bullring.
Spain will now play either Argentina or Russia in the final on November 21-23, with the South Americans the favorites after securing a 2-1 lead after the first two days.
Nadal even outperformed Roddick, who survived five match points, on the service game, considered the American's strong point.
Nadal now leads the 8th-ranked Roddick 4-2 in career meetings, while Spain are 4-5 against the Americans in Davis Cup ties.
